Many approaches have been proposed to schedule data items for broadcasting in a mobile environment. However, the issues of accessing multiple data items on the broadcast channel are less discussed. In this paper, an efficient strategy for accessing multiple data items in mobile environments is proposed. Two issues are investigated in this paper, that is, deciding the content of the broadcast channel based on the queries from the clients, and scheduling the data items to be broadcast. Experiments are performed to compare our proposed methods for deciding the content and to show that our data scheduling methods can reduce the average access time without considerable increase on processing time.
